Common use of Evidence of Insurability Clause in Contracts

Evidence of Insurability. The Contractor shall obtain and retain insurance, including workers’ compensation, automobile insurance, medical malpractice, and general liability as applicable or as required by State or Federal law and shall provide evidence of insurability (Certificate of Insurance) from the insurance carrier prior to commencement of any work in connection with the Contract. The Contractor is also required to comply with applicable Federal and State occupational disease statutes. If occupational diseases are not covered under those statutes, they shall be covered under the employer’s section of the insurance policy. The Contractor shall timely renew the policies to be carried pursuant to this section throughout the term of the Contract and shall provide OSDH Procurement Service with evidence of such insurance and renewals. Such policy shall require thirty days advance notice of cancellation be provided to OSDH Procurement Service. If the Contractor does not carry workers’ compensation insurance because it considers their business to be that of an independent Contractor, as defined by the Workers Compensation Act (85 O.S. § 1 et. seq.), and not that of an employee, the Contractor must complete the OSDH Affidavit of Independent Contractor Status.
